Hi,
I'm looking for C# brain teasers (or VB.NET): a little piece of code
that does something special, or where a little error is. Does anyone
has some of these, or links to sites?
Thanks!

Hello Ludwig,

Use the MS certification preparation matherials for this.
They are a good source for such kind of teasers

Are you after "this doesn't do what you think it does" type things (eg
overloading special cases, or captured variables) or "you should be
able to get this really" questions?

Okay. I've a few ideas - I'll post some tonight.

Thank you! Meanwhile I'm looking into the certification books - I've
to take the exams anyway, so it's a good waste of time

I have a program that finds prime numbers, if you are interested.

There's one here that threw me for a loop late one night:

Other fun ones include some of Joe Duffy's (and Jon Skeet's) examples of
broken double-check locks.
